After making waves in the Estonian entertainment scene, Tommy’s success quickly spread beyond his home country. In the spring of 2022, he embarked on a three-month World Tour across the USA and Europe. In 2019, he performed his album “¥€$” in around 50 cities across Europe and toured the USA as a special guest at Oliver Tree’s concerts in over 20 cities in the US and Canada. TOMMY CASH is a pop artist in demand, performing at major festivals like Glastonbury, Sziget, and Roskilde for tens of thousands of fans. Despite this success, he remains an independent artist with full creative control and no labels.
Tommy has collaborated with renowned musicians and visual artists worldwide, working recently with Mata, JELEEL!, Salvatore Ganacchi, Quebonafide, and more. His tracks like “Tango” with bbno$, “It’s Crazy It’s Party” with Käärijä, and “Untz” alongside the video for “Sex Olympics” showcase his boundless emotional expressiveness. His 2021 EP “Moneysutra” featured collaborations with Diplo, $uicideboy$, Bones Riff Raff, and others. His collaborators range from Charli XCX and Boys Noize to A.G. Cook and Little Big, always with a unique approach.
Tommy has also had remarkable collaborations with Maison Margiela and Adidas, reaching around 80 million people globally.

He has an ongoing multi-platform collaboration with American fashion designer Rick Owens, who describes Tommy’s work as naturally light-hearted. Their collaboration was featured in a joint exhibition at the Estonian National Art Museum (KUMU) in 2019. Tommy has drawn attention as a front-row guest at many fashion shows, and his work has been regularly covered in major fashion, music, and film publications. Dazed praised his boldness in addressing today’s sensitive topics, calling him a hero of inclusiveness, sexual liberation, and body positivity. NME noted his eccentric rapping style is perfect for the crazy, web-immersed times we live in. Vogue described his sense of style as rebellious and funny, while VICE called him a multitalented, fearless, and creative young Eastern European artist with extreme uniqueness.
